Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

Ivan's body twitched, then he slowly rose, looking at Chiga with a sorrowful and indignant expression, and said,

"You're strong, I admit I'm no match for you. If you want to kill me, then hurry up and do it! But could you please spare my lovely subordinates?"

Chiga shook his head, and Ivan's face turned ashen. He thought Chiga was going to kill them all.

However, Chiga simply took out the Devil Fruit again and placed it in front of Ivan, saying,

"This is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit called the Yamata no Orochi Fruit. Eating it will give you eight lives. I'll trade it for the Hormone Fruit, how about it?"

A Mythical Zoan-type Yamata no Orochi?!

Ivan stared intently at the Devil Fruit in Chiga's hand, his eyes wide with curiosity. He had learned about this fruit from historical documents.

He knew that this Devil Fruit was a perfect fit for his fighting style, after all, it actually gave him several extra heads, not just afterimages created by his high-speed movement.

Eating it would not only greatly enhance his physical strength, but also make his Hell Blink more frequent and increase his attack power exponentially. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't tempted by this fruit.

However, he didn't want to give up the Hormone Fruit either, because besides fighting, the ability to freely switch between two genders was very much to his liking.

Besides, he's already eaten the Hormone Fruit, so how could he possibly eat another Orochi Fruit?

Thinking of this, Ivan subconsciously shook his head and said,

"Even if I wanted to eat this fruit, I'm already a Devil Fruit user. How can I just switch places like that?"

"You don't need to worry about that. I have my own way of doing it. You just need to agree."

Looking at Chiga's confident face, Ivan was really unsure of what to do. After all, his and his men's lives were still in the hands of this navy officer, and he really didn't dare to refuse outright.

After thinking about it, Ivan decided to see what kind of methods this navy had.

In any case, given the current situation, it would be a matter of the navy wanting to kill him; he had no bargaining power whatsoever.

Not to mention that the Yamata no Orochi fruit was indeed quite good, and the fact that the Navy offered it as compensation is already more than generous.

Thinking of this, Ivan nodded his enormous head, indicating that he agreed.

Seeing his agreement, Chika gave a captivating smile that left Ivan momentarily stunned. He thought to himself,

"This navy officer is really good-looking. I wonder how beautiful he would be if he turned into a woman."

Chapter 160 A Taste of Devil Fruit

Chiga slapped Ivan's forehead and used the Human Path's power to pull out a part of his soul.

Ivan stared wide-eyed at his purple spirit body being pulled out, and at that moment he suddenly felt that his Devil Fruit power might really be leaving him.

Thinking of this, he quickly shouted,

"Please wait a moment, do I need to make some preparations?"

"Ok?"

Chiga stopped what she was doing, frowned, and looked at Ivan, thinking that he was going to change his mind.

Ivan explained,

"I need to leave some medications that are necessary for special surgeries. Please wait a moment, I'll be right there!"

After saying that, Ivan miraculously pulled out two giant syringes that were the same size as him, leaving Qianhe completely dumbfounded. He couldn't even figure out how he did it.

Ivan's ten fingers transformed into needle-like points once more. He inserted both hands into two syringes and shouted...

"Female hormones!"

"Male hormones!"

A clear liquid spurted from his fingertips, instantly filling two giant syringes.

After the injection, Ivan looked somewhat weak; even he was struggling to cope with such a large dose of hormones at once.

Qianhe stared at the liquid in the two syringes, his lips twitching. He thought that if this stuff were in a certain country on Earth, it would be an absolute game-changer.

Ivan carefully placed the two syringes aside; these might be the last of his transgender hormones, and he had to cherish them.

People often learn to cherish things only after they lose them.

However, Chiga couldn't stand it any longer and decided to cut the Gordian knot.

Extracting the soul, absorbing the power, and then putting the soul back in—the whole process was completed in one go. Before Ivan could even react, he found that he could no longer sense the power of the Hormone Fruit.

In Chiga's doorway, there was a strange fruit that was entirely pink and looked like a syringe.

Losing his powers, Ivan sighed dejectedly, looking up at the sky. Seeing him like this, Chiga felt embarrassed and quickly handed the Orochi Fruit to Ivan.

Unexpectedly, Ivan, who had just looked sad, grabbed the fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it without even chewing, as if afraid that Chiga would change her mind.

After eating the fruit, Ivan couldn't wait to use its power to verify its authenticity.

After a strange sound, eight different Ivan faces appeared in front of Chiga. Except for the one in the middle with a purple afro, the other afros were all different colors.

His gaze lingered on the green, explosive head for a moment, then without a word, Qianhe flashed and headed straight for the top floor of the Deep Sea Prison.

As Chiga watched further, she felt like Ivan's performance was making her physically uncomfortable.

Upon arriving at the prison entrance, he immediately spotted Kalifa talking to Warden Domino. The two were discussing something, occasionally letting out bursts of silvery laughter.

Chika quietly moved closer to them, wanting to hear what they had to say.

However, Kalifa was so familiar with his scent that she stopped talking to Chiga before he could get close, turned around and looked at him calmly.

Chiga's attempt to eavesdrop was abruptly thwarted. He coughed twice, mimicking Sengoku, and then said with a serious expression,

"We've almost finished getting things done; it's time for us to head back."

"Good boss."

Kalifa obediently agreed, then smiled at Domino and said,

"Domino, I'll do my best to help you with what you asked. I have to go now. Contact me by phone if you need anything."

Domino's face lit up with joy. She glanced at Chiga secretly through her sunglasses, then took Kalifa's hand to express her gratitude.

Chiga was completely baffled by the two girls' behavior, but he was too embarrassed to ask them what they were talking about, so he could only stand aside and idly touch the horn on his head.

Kalifa didn't keep Chiga waiting long. After saying goodbye to Domino, she came to Chiga's side and hugged his arm.

Chiga knew Kalifa was ready, but instead of immediately using his ability to return to the warship, he smiled at Domino and said,

"Domino, Director Magellan's working hours will be much longer from now on, so you'll have an easier time."

After saying that, before Domino could understand what Chiga meant, she and Kalifa disappeared from the spot.

Not long after Chiga left, a smug Magellan arrived. He looked at Domido, who was standing there dumbfounded, and asked...

"Domino, what are you doing standing here? Where is General Zilin?"

"He has gone back."

"Oh really? Hmm, that felt good. Uh, no, I meant his departure was a bit sudden. I was hoping to see him off!"

Domino glanced at Magellan, whose expression was strange, with a puzzled look, then shook his head resignedly and turned to go back to his office.

On the way back, images of Magellan and Chiga kept flashing through Domino's mind. Suddenly, she stopped and sighed.

"They're both bosses, so why is there such a big difference?"

The next day, in Chiga's office,

Kalifa held the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit that Chiga had handed her, examining it curiously.

Chiga said with a hint of helplessness,

"Kalifa, you've been staring like that for half an hour, are you going to eat or not?"

"Boss, I've heard that Devil Fruits taste awful. Do you know exactly how awful they are?"

This question stumped Chiga. Although he was already a user of nine Devil Fruits, he had never actually eaten one.

However, since Kalifa didn't really want to experience the taste of Devil Fruits, Chiga naturally wouldn't let his little secretary suffer.

He cut a piece off the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit and gestured for Kalifa to open her mouth.

Then, while she was opening her mouth, he used the power of the Op-Op Fruit to transfer that small piece of fruit flesh to Kalifa's throat.

With a gulp, Kalifa swallowed the small piece of fruit without even realizing it.

Chiga's thoughtfulness warmed Kalifa's heart, and she couldn't help but secretly scold herself for becoming so sentimental.

In Chiga's opinion, this was really nothing; in fact, he found Kalifa even more real and adorable this way.

Chika shook her head and chuckled, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, which still had a piece of its flesh missing.

Once Kalifa ate that piece of fruit, it meant that the Devil Fruit had become an ordinary fruit, with no value other than being used to fill one's stomach.

However, Chiga was somewhat eager to try the taste of Devil Fruits. After all, these were unique fruits in the world of One Piece, and since he had come all this way, he felt it would be a real shame not to experience their flavor.

Thinking of this, Qianhe couldn't help but take a small piece of fruit and put it in his mouth. Then his face turned from white to red to black, and finally back to white.

Seeing this, Kalifa quickly brought Chiga a large glass of orange juice. Chiga grabbed the glass and drank it all in one gulp. It took him a while to calm down from that devilish taste.

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Qianhe glanced at the nine-tailed fox fruit with lingering fear, then his eyes widened, and the fruit exploded into a pile of dust.

This time, they really brought trouble upon themselves; the taste is simply inedible!

Chapter 161: Companionship is the longest confession of love

After experiencing the intoxicating taste of the Devil Fruit, Chiga looked up at Kalifa and asked,

"Kalifa, how are you feeling?"

Kalifa sensed it briefly, then with a thought, nine fluffy golden tails emerged from her skirt.

Besides the nine tails that suddenly grew out of her, her pupils turned gold, pink eyeshadow appeared at the corners of her eyes, her chin became more pointed, and a pair of cute fox ears trembled slightly on both sides of her cheeks.

This is the half-beast form of the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit. In this state, Kalifa looks even more stunningly beautiful.

An irresistible charm emanated from her, adding a subtle touch of pink to her aura.

Kalifa spun around on the spot, then gave Chiga a smile that was both cool and alluring, making Chiga's eyes light up.

He picked up the glass that had just held the orange juice, wanting to take a sip to soothe his parched throat, only to find that there wasn't a single drop left in the glass.

Setting the empty cup aside, Chiga began to focus intently on admiring her glamorous transformation into a secretary, exclaiming in admiration.
